4. Heat up a pan, put a little bit of butter. Then, stir fry the chopped onion and garlic. Follow by chilli pieces and the TC Boy Tuna. Season with some salt & pepper powder for taste. 

5. After 5-10min cook, place it in a bowl.

6. Spread butter over the bread and place lettuce slices, follow by cookes TC Boy Tuna, Tomato sauce and tomato pieces. Cover with another pieces of bread.

厨房忙@内有乾坤的班兰包, pandan pau with veggie filling

Hello, I'm back! ^___^

"Was grandma right when she said that breakfast was the most important meal of the day?" Unless you wake up for a snack in the night, breakfast does refuel the body after the long 'fast' through the night.

Breakfast is still the most important meal because it provides the fuel for the day. Studies have shown that overweight children, adolescents and adults are less likely to eat breakfast than their thinner counterparts. Skipping breakfast often leads to eating a heavier lunch or to having a snack (often high-calorie) before lunch. Hence, eating a healthy breakfast can help in control weight gain.

Steamed buns or pau is always a good choice for breakfast!
